Wayland (Massachusetts, United States) (search for this): chapter 61
To Prof. Convers Francis. Wayland, February 27, 1856. Concerning theology, I still have a difficulty in seeing eye to eye with you. If there is such a science, I should define it as treating of man's relations with God; while ethics treat of his relations with fellow-men.
